LittleBlitzer 2.3 Released

Post by nthom »

I've released a new version you can download at http://kimiensoftware.com/littlethought ... litzer.php. LB is designed to make use of multiple cores to run parallel tournaments at super fast time controls.

It now supports customised UCI parameters per engine, and using an EPD file to specify starting positions which it will iterate through with white + black per engine. I hope others find it as useful as I do :)

Looks nice :)

Is it possible to do x moves in y minutes rather than x moves y increment or is that the same?

Main reason I ask is if it does might use this instead of Arena for my CCRL tourney

Yes, I've had lots of requests to support different time controls so that will be in the next version :)

Many thanks Nathan. LittleBlitzer will be very handy for something I
have in mind. :)
